ill Trumpism survive President Donald Trump? For many observers, the answer is obvious: no. Trumpism is about Donald Trump, and only Donald Trump, and it has no substance beyond that. It is a rhetoric and an affect, in service to him, and that’s on its best days. On most others, it is a gibbering cult and series of baroque conspiracy theories. Trumpism is just is a giant sucking sound around the black hole of the man’s own vanity. It will eventually disappear, as he has, up his own backside.

Boo! Garbage that shouldn’t even be presented to us here.
It’s like the National Review has its head so up its own backside that they’ve entirely lost touch with reality. Not only is strong, patriotic conservative populism (i.e. Trumpism) far more popular in the U.S. than anything the National Review stands for, if it actually does stand for anything, but it (in local forms) is also rapidly gaining support around the world in numerous countries. We are the future for the center-right; the National Review “conservative” globalist elites are irrelevant now. The globalist powerbrokers have already allied themselves with the left and no longer need to deal with faux or mushy conservatives.
Does anybody read this establishment rag any more?
Nationalism vs Communism.
The vocabulary changes, but that concept is the core.
It’s Nationalism vs. Globalism.
It’s Nationalism vs. Communism
It’s Patriotism vs. Communism.
It's Fascism vs Communism.
It's Fascism vs Progressivism.
It's white supremacy vs Democrats.
It's Trump vs Biden
We see ourselves as patriots who love our country and support President Trump.
The other side sees Trump as Hitler and thinks we are all Fascist white supremacists.
“The other side sees Trump as Hitler and thinks we are all Fascist white supremacists.”
Because they are indoctrinated, and stupid. Unfortunately, the fact that I recognize that, won’t change it.

The ‘left-behind’ voters who make up his base reflect a global populist-nationalist trend, and they are not going away.

This is, I think, incorrect. Trumpism is a populist-nationalist politics. It is populist because it preaches political doctrines largely rejected by the incumbent political class: an America-first foreign policy, revision of the aims of our trade policy, and a halt to mass migration. It is a nationalist project whose ultimate aim is to restore the democratic link between the citizenry and government — a link that has been threatened by a class of “experts” who govern a subordinate native class on behalf of oligarchic interests. Trumpism seeks a political mandate from the losers of post-Cold War globalization. It chafes at the restraints of a “world order” when it does not suit the national interest. It is the restorationist character of this nationalist project that makes it appealing to many conservatives and, ultimately, an ally of conservatism — even if an occasionally annoying or obstreperous one.”
Trumpism = Americanism

19% of the national vote in 1992 - and that was AFTER all the "massaging" done by the Media and the Deep State, which we didn't know existed in 1992.
Now we can clearly see that Perot probably would easily have won 25-30% of the vote in a non-rigged election [they were rigging with just the Media slant and penny-ante Big City Plantation vote fraud in those days ].
Globalism.
